Bobby / Male / 2.5 years old / 15 lbs / Chihuahua Mix / Good with Dogs / No cats please / From Mexico / Fostered in Toronto

Meet Bobby! Bobby came to us from Mexico and is ready to find his forever home. Bobby is described by his fosters as sweet, curious and playful. He loves to go for walks, play with his stuffed animals and cuddle up on the couch. Bobby is a perfectly portable companion, weighing in at a light 15lbs, with his expressive ears making up 75% of his body weight!
Bobby is loving to his trusted humans. He looks to them for reassurance when he is feeling nervous. With new people, Bobby is curious, but can be a bit apprehensive and vocal. He will take time to warm up. Bobby is good at taking his space until he feels comfortable. Bobby has not met children, but given his size and personality we think he would do well with respectful, dog-savvy children.
Bobby is looking for a home in a quieter area, as loud noises can make him nervous. High traffic, busier neighbourhoods would take him longer to feel comfortable in. Bobby is adaptable and would do well in any type of home, whether a house with a yard, or an apartment. As long as he has his humans and access to green space, Bobby will do great.
Bobby is very dog social, especially with dogs his size. He loves to meet other dogs on walks and gets very excited to see them. Bobby would benefit from a canine sibling to help his confidence and to have a playmate. Bobby has not been introduced to cats yet, but given his love of squirrels we think it is bets for him to be in a cat free home at this time.
Bobby is on the lower side of medium energy and will need at least two walks daily as well as some canine enrichment. Bobby walks well on leash, but can be nervous of large vehicles and loud noises. He loves to explore the neighbourhood and take in all the smells. When in the house, Bobby loves to play with his toys, and is learning the enjoyment of enrichment.
Bobby has been making great progress with his house manners. He is crate trained, potty trained and working in his commands. His new family should be prepared to continue his training and support him with any regressions while he gets used to his new home. Bobby loves treats, so will be an easy candidate to work with.
